A few favorites

from this weekend. I'm loving this weather; the sun mixed with a cool breeze and a touch of nip in the air!

I just want to jump in this picture....

and get in on the hug!!! If you know me even a little, you know I love animals, and Scooter is a gem! Truth be known I couldn't keep my eyes off of his adorable little master either! Here are a few from this weekend at the Pink Bee in Greenville, SC. Once again Joanna Sherman hosted the annual Pink Bee Fresh Faces Event. Everyone looked stunning in gorgeous Lilly Pulitzer attire and the images are awesome. I was so impressed Stogie (the cat below), he's HUGE, and the best behaved cat I've ever been around.

I Absolutely LOVE this shot!!!

Wow, Kirby you look awesome! I had so much fun and couldn't wait for you to see this shot!!

Fun at the farm!

This past weekend I was so excited to visit not one, but two farms with this gorgeous family! We ran, jumped, climbed, and of course fed the animals - well, Dad did, but we watched as the llama followed him around, lol. Here are a few of my favorites!

A girl and her bug....

I couldn't resist this car shot... and it wasn't even in the plan! Well, truth be known there's really never a plan, lol! As the day was ending and we were saying our so long, farewell, etc. there it was. The girl, the bug, and the light! What a shot! Thanks Sarah!

Darling... these clothes are to die for!!!

Guess where I've been! One of my favorite places in Greenville, where else, but the Pink Bee! Thank you Clair for modeling a gorgeous combination from the Lilly Pulitzer fall line. See you soon!

Brantlee.... Greenwood High School Senior Model

Isn't she gorgeous!!! Brantlee is my senior model for Greenwood High. We had so much fun visiting several really cool spots! We did have to change one location due to an OVERGROWTH of POISON IVEY!!! Check out these shots!

Is this cool or what??

I had so much fun with Morgan and her mom Saturday. We shot a few studio shots then headed to an awesome location I found. She was so relaxed and easy going! Everything Caroline and I came up with Morgan was willing to try!

Three for three!!!

Yes... I know you've seen this image before... but I'm so excited to let you know Taylor has won Miss Photogenic with this image in her last 3 pageants. First she won the title of Miss Teen Ware Shoals and Miss Photogenic. Next she competed as Miss Teen South Carolina American Queen at the national pageant in Daytona: here she was first runner up and won Miss Photogenic. Thirdly, she competed in Lexington County for the title of Miss Funfest and was second runner up, received a $250 scholarship and won Miss Photogenic.... AGAIN!!! Congratulations Taylor!!! I'm so excited for you!

The uniforms are in....

and boy are these two excited!!!

My Kids!

Finally I shoot my kids! One loves the camera - it's rather easy to guess who!

Amazing Siblings!

Yes.... I swear! I know how my two can act when they're together, however Miss. Julia and IV were incredible to work with. So pleasant and willing to try most anything I asked. We strolled through their backyard (which is a photographers dream btw) shooting at various locations for one phenomenal session. Just take a look at these shots...WOW!

A little over half way....

with the most exciting months to come (that's a nice way of putting it, don't you think?) Yes, you can tell she's a little prego in this picture, but we really had to work on getting that belly out! They always say you're beautiful when your pregnant, and she's no exception!

Model Material!

As gorgeous as ever we quickly snapped a few for Millie Lewis Modeling Agency in Greenville, SC. Wow, are they going to be blown away. Beauty, brains, personality... A. has it all!

Sweet 16!

I photographed her last summer, but what a difference a year makes! The smile, the attitude and what about the JUMP!!! The images from this session are out of this world... Mom, I have NO idea how you are EVER going to choose!!!

Miss Teen South Carolina American Queen

Oh yes... we were shooting her head shots for the upcoming national pageant... and yes, she is this gorgeous in person too! With twists, turns, and even jumps the shots were awesome! Here's two.

Can you believe she wanted to know....

if I got any good ones???? Hello..... she's gorgeous!! Of course we laughed - especially at the studio tactics I use. Flip, shake, flip, shake, flip, shake, now really fast... a radical flip!! Thanks B. and mom for a very fun morning!

It's so hard to believe....

that just 9 months ago I was photographing him as a newborn!!! Now he's pulling up on everything, seeing what he can get into and has the most adorable smile! As soon as I walked into his home, I knew something was up... the beautiful coffee table decor was missing from my last trip, LOL! That's a sure sign of a curious toddler.
